Guru Air 360 and Wearable Kit now available for preorder!

Image
The Guru Air 360, the first affordable gimbal for professional 360 cameras, and the Moza Wearable Kit, which is the first wearable kit for a 360 gimbal, are now available for preorder from GimbalGuru.com! GURU AIR 360 The Guru Air 360 is the big brother of the popular Guru 360, the first affordable gimbal for 360 cameras (reviewed here).  I saw the Guru Air 360 at NAB Show where GimbalGuru and Gudsen Moza representatives confirmed that it is capable of being used with cameras up to 1.5 kilos (3.3 lbs.), more than enough for professional 360 cameras such as the Z Cam S1 (1.43 lbs.) and small rigs such as the GoPro Omni (2.32 lbs.).  It can also carry the Insta360 Pro (although the Pro has built-in realtime image stabilization). In case you missed it, here's the Guru Air 360 from NAB Show 2017 (please hit the like button): The Guru Air 360 is available for preorder for $699 for delivery in June . WEARABLE KIT The wearable kit is a unique accessory that can be used with any of t...

Best 360 Cameras for Beginners and Casual Shooters - Part 1: the simplest and easiest 360 cameras

Image
If you're looking for a 360 camera for a beginner, here are the ones I would recommend for ease of use.  I've also linked to among the most comprehensive hands-on reviews you will find anywhere, not just a mindless regurgitation of a spec sheet. Update : added a new camera -- the Garmin Virb 360!  Find out why it made the list! INTRODUCTION: HOW 360 CAMERAS WORK 360 cameras work by having two or more lenses take photos or videos at the same time.  The photos and videos then have to be combined into a whole (this process is called " stitching "). The farther the distance between the lenses, the harder it is to stitch smoothly.  Some cameras are also better at stitching (with less obvious stitches) than others.  The process is usually automatic, although a few cameras allow stitching to be customized. After stitching, a 360 photo or video needs one more step: it needs special information in the file so that viewing software will recognize it as a 360 photo or vide...

How to watch YouTube in full resolution on Samsung Gear VR (360 and non-360 videos)

Image
Young360 created a very good tutorial for watching YouTube in full resolution on the Samsung Gear VR headset . Samsung Gear VR ( reviewed here ) is the most popular VR headset, with 5 million users as of January 2017.  It is my favorite platform for watching 360 videos because of its much more accurate head tracking compared to Google Cardboard (Oculus Rift and HTC Vive also offer accurate head tracking but 360 videos don't utilize positional tracking anyway, so there's little incremental benefit from using a Rift or Vive to watch YouTube). However, one of the Gear VR's peccadilloes is that when watching YouTube videos (in 360 or otherwise), the resolution would often be less than the highest available resolution.  At the same time, Google doesn't want to create a YouTube app for Gear VR because Gear VR is competing directly with Google Daydream (which does have a YouTube app). Thankfully, Oculus has updated the Gear VR's software to make it easier to watch YouTube...
